whereas an iphone feels like eve. i think the point of the movie was that they're both valid. but there are a lot of evses these days.

the other nie thing about the hum is that you can feel the keyes vibrate beneath your fingers. i imagine that this is something like what holding a hamster feels li ke, i hear that they have such fast heartbeats that you feel their hearts like a buzz. i mean that their hearts buzz. or feel like they're buzizing?

anyway the curse and joy of the typewriter is that i c annot fix it. you know what i mean about the hamsters .

oh that is another thing. i seem very bad at understa nding when the word i am writing will fit on the line, and i keep getting cut off. i guess this is a skill is sue, but i was trained to think about the number of words, not the numebrer of letters in the words.

the typewriter amakes very pretyty doncuments. i think abo ut how latex has taken over math and in many ways this is wonderful, but i can't help but miss the way the ol der textbooks look. like galoidssth galois theory by em il artin. that's a type-writer typewriter-set book adnd it feels different from the newer books. of course some of that is the writing style. but i liked the typesetting too. maybe it was the novelty.

anyway i might continue to write on the typewriter, it is really a very nice experience. it helps me get o ut of my head…something that's been a little hard laterly.

i want to talk about the physicality again. i know people talk about this sometimes, how if you want your brain to shut up you need to do something with your bod y. i think this is broadly right, and the typewriter re ally takes advantage of this. my brain is out of the wa y because i need oit to coordinate my hfingers and get t he letters right, not the words. i can get the words r ight later.

maybe i will get them right later. maybe not.

man i really want a typewriter.

how old is this typewriter? i will have to figure that out. surely it is not super new, thought i guess some people still care about typewriters. but something abo ut it feels a little too good to be a super old thing, it's too high-tech. like when i hit a letter key while the cariage (?) moves to the left, the typewriter still puts out the letters in the correct place. surely that required some kind of engineering.

yknow i wonder whether the typewriter is really analog

or whether it is a digital thing with a computer brain that is shaped like an analog thing. either way, i wou ldn't be surprised, but i would be impressed.

wow the typewriter really is wlioud. i am interrupting al l the conversations nearby…i am not sure that i acare ? but, well, fif you are considering purchasing a typewr iter this is a thing that you should know.

i am starting to think that i type too quickly for the ding to make sense…i keep typing over the line end becuase the ding does not notify me early enoujgh. perh aps i am just not reacting fast enough.

can you imagine being a founding fateher and seeing a typewriter? after writing all those words by hands? or did they already have those…no surely not, you need electricity for that.

anyway. those were a lot of thoughts about typewriters i guess. against my better judgement now i really want one. another thing to add to the list of infintiete want ss. wants. infinite wants.
